THROWBACK THURSDAY:FALL OUT BOY

We are HUGE Fall Out Boy fans! Anytime one of their songs comes on the radio, we all sing at the top of our lungs and have a full on dance party. Here's proof. After listening to their latest amazing album, Save Rock and Roll, it got me thinking about one of their greatest albums, Infinity on High. The entire album is flawless and full of gems. 

Check out one of those gems here, which just happened to be filmed in Uganda. Oh, F.O.B how I love thee. Enjoy!

FASHION FRIDAY: VICTORIA'S SECRET ANGELS

As well as being an actress, one of my life-long dreams was to be a Victoria's Secret Angel. Blame it on the angel wings. While I wait for the call that I'll be walking down the runway in this year's show, I thought I'd share with you guys some of the fab, fellow African chicas who've shimmied down the glittery runway:


Ajuma Nasenyana-KENYA

Alek Wek- SUDAN

Aminata Niaria-SENEGAL

Anais Mali-CHAD

GET FAMILIAR: PHIONA MUTESI

I've always wanted to learn how to play chess. The mental aspect of the game has always intrigued me. If I had played chess as a kid, I probably would have been an OK player, but probably nowhere near the level of Phiona Mutesi, a Ugandan chess player.

FASHION FRIDAY: KIARA KABUKURU

Hailing from Kampala, Uganda, model Kiara Kabukuru began her career at the tender age of 16, after being discovered by fashion photographer Bill Bodwell in a Los Angeles shopping center. Since then, she's worked for the fashion houses of Chanel, Dior, Balmain, as well as advertising campaigns for Dolce and Gabbana, L'Oreal and most notably Cover Girl. Kiara has also had the privilege of gracing the cover of American Vogue, which is a huge coup for any model's career. 

GET FAMILIAR: BROADWAY SERVES

I've always been a believer that one person can truly make a difference, but a group of people together? Well, that's a movement. I recently got to witness a movement that has the ability to make great things happen.

LONDON CALLING: FILM AFRICA 2012

The 2nd Annual African Film Festival, Film Africa, is in full effect. This ten-day festival offers 70 African films, Q&As with the filmmakers, professional workshops, and nine nights of African music.

SPOTLIGHT: OPPOSITE FIELD

There are a lot of things Africa is known for. Good food. Great music. A rich culture. Baseball...baseball? Okay, maybe not so much, but, if the players from the Rev. John Foundation Little League Team of Uganda  have their way, that'll all change.

MUSIC MONDAY: GREAT CAUSE

Check out this video from Dollar for the Poor. Great message. Great video. Enjoy!
